I was attempting to order from a Company overseas. When I was ready to check out, I found that the Tax was going to be almost $50 on a $150 order! This is insane. I am just like everyone else and want to save a couple of bucks on inventory. But the TAXES are killing me! But at least thee was free shipping!

Depending on country of origin the duty tax rate and tariff rate can be very punitive right now. Stopping the use of deminimus values also means that any and all shipments coming into the US are now eligible for duty & tariff. Until recently goods that came into the US worth less than $800 were exempted.
 
Unless that is mis-labeled, it appears to be sales tax. Other countries are not required to collect sales tax on goods delivered to another country. If there was a tariff, it would separately stated or simply made part of the price. It is just an odd and suspicious way of presentling a cost. That is over a 33% tax/tariff. I will chllange it. They seller may be right and simply mislabled the line item.

very true, I should have asked that too.
 
This is the message I received from the seller.

"This year, tariffs have been imposed on small parcel orders exported from China to the United States. Currently, China Post has temporarily suspended the transportation of such parcels."

I am not sure about all of you, but I HATE PAYING ANY TAXES! I do realize that they are part of society, but extra taxes are not something I can afford.

Tariffs are just another part of a sales tax.
